Outline

This paper proposes LEAVES, a novel module that automatically learns data augmentation methods within a contrastive learning framework applied to biobehavioral time-series data. Conventional contrastive learning relies on data augmentation techniques, but finding optimal augmentation methods and parameters is difficult and time-consuming. LEAVES learns augmentation hyperparameters within a contrastive learning framework using adversarial learning. Experimental results on various biobehavioral datasets using SimCLR and BYOL demonstrate competitive performance compared to existing methods, significantly improving efficiency with a significantly smaller number of parameters (approximately 20) than existing methods (e.g., ViewMaker). LEAVES requires virtually no manual hyperparameter tuning, making it suitable for large-scale or real-time medical applications.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
We provide an efficient and effective contrastive learning framework for bio-behavioral time series data.
Achieve high performance with a small number of learnable parameters, reducing computational costs.
Increases practicality by reducing the need for manual hyperparameter tuning.
It has high applicability in large-scale or real-time medical applications.
Limitations:
Further research is needed to determine how well the generality of the proposed method extends to other types of time series data or other contrastive learning frameworks.
Only experimental results on various bio-behavioral datasets are presented, and performance evaluations on other types of data are lacking.
There is a lack of analysis of the complexity and interpretability of the LEAVES module itself.
